| Summary | "New Zealand Moths and Butterflies (Macro-Lepidoptera)" by G. V. Hudson is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The work serves as an extensive guide for collectors and students interested in studying New Zealand's native Lepidoptera, focusing particularly on larger moths and butterflies. It touches on aspects like the structure and transformations of these insects, as well as Darwinian theories relevant to their diversity. The opening of the book starts with a preface detailing the author's intention to provide valuable reference material for both enthusiasts and general readers. Hudson highlights the joy found in observing nature and the intricacies of insect life, leading into a discussion on the classifications and transformative stages of Lepidoptera, including eggs, larvae, and pupae. He emphasizes the importance of these studies in understanding species origin and the evolutionary theories that apply, setting the stage for in-depth chapters on various groups of moths and butterflies that will follow in the work.
